We construct large families of initial data sets for the vacuum Einstein equations with positive cosmological constant which contain exactly Delaunay ends; these are non-trivial initial data sets which coincide with those for the…

Given asymptotically flat initial data on M^3 for the vacuum Einstein field equation, and given a bounded domain in M, we construct solutions of the vacuum constraint equations which agree with the original data inside the given domain, and…

These lectures are designed to provide a general introduction to the Einstein-Vlasov system and to the global Cauchy problem for these equations. To start with some general facts are collected and a local existence theorem for the Cauchy…

In this paper, we sketch the proof of the extension of the stability theorem of the Minkowski space in General Relativity done explicitly in previous work by the present author. We discuss solutions of the Einstein vacuum (EV) equations. We…

We find asymptotical expansions as $\nu \to 0$ for integrals of the form $\int_{\mathbb{R}^d} F(x) / \big(\omega(x)^2 + \nu^2\big)\, dx$, where sufficiently smooth functions $F$ and $\omega$ satisfy natural assumptions for their behaviour…

Let (M, g) be an asymptotically flat static vacuum initial data set with non-empty compact boundary. We prove that (M, g) is isometric to a spacelike slice of a Schwarzschild spacetime under the mere assumption that the boundary of (M, g)…

For an asymptotically flat initial-data set in general relativity, the total mass-momentum may be interpreted as a Hermitian quadratic form on the complex, two-dimensional vector space of ``asymptotic spinors''. We obtain a generalization…

For mathematical convenience initial data sets in numerical relativity are often taken to be conformally flat. Employing the dual-foliation formalism, we investigate the physical consequences of this assumption. Working within a large class…

There exists in General Relativity an unambiguous notion of Mass associated to asymptotically flat spacetimes known as the ADM mass. The standard expression for the same is a surface integral over spatial infinity of a linear combination of…

We develop new techniques for computing the metric entropy of ellipsoids -- with polynomially decaying semi-axes -- in Banach spaces. Besides leading to a unified and comprehensive framework, these tools deliver numerous novel results as…

For manifolds with a distinguished asymptotically flat end, we prove a density theorem which produces harmonic asymptotics on the distinguished end, while allowing for points of incompleteness (or negative scalar curvature) away from this…

It is proved that a stationary solutions to the vacuum Einstein field equations with non-vanishing angular momentum have no Cauchy slice that is maximal, conformally flat, and non-boosted. The proof is based on results coming from a certain…

Linear statistics of random zero sets are integrals of smooth differential forms over the zero set and as such are smooth analogues of the volume of the random zero set inside a fixed domain. We derive an asymptotic expansion for the…

We investigate the Einstein vacuum equations as well as the Einstein-null fluid equations describing neutrino radiation. We find new structures in gravitational waves and memory for asymptotically-flat spacetimes of slow decay. These…

We study the onset of inflation in 3+1 dimensional cosmologies with an inflationary potential $U$ satisfying $0 < \Lambda_1 \leq U \leq \Lambda_2$, matter satisfying the dominant and strong energy conditions, and with spatial slices that…

We show that asymptotically hyperbolic initial data satisfying smallness conditions in dimensions $n\ge 3$, or fast decay conditions in $n\ge 5$, or a genericity condition in $n\ge 9$, can be deformed, by a deformation which is supported…

In our prior work toward Bartnik's static vacuum extension conjecture for near Euclidean boundary data, we establish a sufficient condition, called static regular, and confirm large classes of boundary hypersurfaces are static regular. In…

On a smooth asymptotically flat Riemannian manifold with non-compact boundary, we prove a positive mass theorem for metrics which are only continuous across a compact hypersurface. As an application, we obtain a positive mass theorem on…
